Going Home, Back to Godhead

[sanatana]

Dear Krsnaraja and Babhru das,

 

You two are correct in some way. There are two Vijayanagaras one in West Bengal where Lord Chaitanya was said to have been born and the other located in Southern India where Krsnaraja reigned.

But in an amazing way, both great personalities have met in one time of their great lives.

And during that meeting(Madana) Krsnaraja and Lord Chaitanya discussed the pastimes of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Sri Govindaraja Krsna.

That exchange(lila) was I believe akin to Madhurasa, the exchange of intense feeling of love between two lovers or friends.

After having relished that Bhava Prema Bhakti, no one could anymore distinguish one from the other whether one was Krsnaraja or Chaitanya.

Thus when both bade goodbye to each other, the intense feeling of separation manifested within them which we know as Mohana.

The principle of Madana-Mohana in nuclear terms can be exemplified as fusion and fission, both reactions capable of releasing amounts of energy- which if harnessed can in fact give the universe an unlimited source of light!

Krsnaraja became Chaitanya and Chaitanya became Krsnaraja, a reaction which illuminated the darkness of the material world bringing light to all who were in the mode of ignorance.

Krsnaraja, the ruler of Vijayanagara became a success because of Chaitanya and Chaitanya succeeded in his Krsna Kirtana because of Krsnaraja.

Both of you therefore( Babhru das and Krsnaraja) should not quarrel over a very minor issue. Neither should you call each other names which could be very unpleasant to hear.

In other words,Krsnaraja and Lord Chaitanya are simultaneously one yet very much different from the other and yet both were great devotees of the Supreme Lord Vasudeva.

 

Om Namo Bhagavate Vausdevaya!

 

I remain,

 

Sanatana

1. What names did Krishnaraja and I call each other?

 

2. (This one's more important, I think) Where is the lila you recount recorded?
